Thank you so much to our volunteers on the long, backbreaking
hours they put in toward the remodel of the Middleburg Humane
Thrift Shop. It took Nancy Hanscom, Judene Marchetti, and Karen
Williams a total of a week and a half working every day, including
weekends, to get everything moved out, patched up, painted, sorted,
everything moved back in, organized, & last minute touches finished
in order to finally open again. Even Matt Williams and Joe Marchetti,
the volunteers' husbands, were kind enough to help out by working
on installing shelf racks. We don't know how you got everything
done so fast, but it looks fantastic! Thank you so much!

News & Recent Rescues
HOPE
Hope had her first acupuncture last week and she
was such a good patient! She got another intense
exam and is doing great! Today, she had another
acupuncture treatment.
A big thanks to Dr. Makosky!
ANNIE
Annie was found near the shelter as a stray. Despite
our search efforts, no owner has been found. Unfortunately, being found so close to the shelter there is
a possibility that she was abandoned. She seems
very affectionate and smart. She likes to hide treats
and she will pick up her blankets and move them to
wherever she wants to lay.
NALA & HUNTER
Nala & Hunter were transferred
from Potomac Highlands Animal
Rescue and both have already
been adopted!
BELLA
Hilleary was at the Virginia Federation of Humane Society
Conference when a young couple showed up with a dog that
needed a home. Because they were losing their home, the
future of the dog was uncertain. She is a lovely dog named
Bella. She rode home in the back seat of the truck.
PLEASE HELP US FIND ELLIE
Ellie has been missing since September and we need
your help to bring her home. There haven’t been any
recent sightings but we are not giving up hope.
3 Ways YOU can Help!
FRAN
This kitty was found by our Animal Care Manager in her
driveway. She was very thin & hungry. We named her Fran
and she seems very sweet.
PUPPIES
These 3 adorable puppies were brought in by a volunteer.
They were found abandoned on the side of a road. Thanks to
Christine, Channing, & Katie for fostering them for us!
SUNDAYS
We will be open on Sundays from 12-4pm starting April 12th.
GROOMING SALON

new clients in the last couple weeks since Spring has sprung.
